Well the Friday challenge at notimetostamp is to make a manly ( if there is such a word)card and use like string or twine etc. My etc. is I guess called hemp.
Mr.Webster of the dictionary fame says...hemp has a strong stem that yeilds a course fiber that is used in cordage and I think mine is that cordage. Love that word, it's manly and so that is why I used it for my " manly" ribbon. This lighthouse is a stamp I borrowed from a friend and stamped off so....don't know who made it. Just very lightly colored it, added some of the seagulls along the side using my water-mark ink and the Happy Birthday from Just Rite. Simple card and suitable for my
manly card.
Well it's the weekend again and I'm in the process of spreading 3 yards of cedar mulch in my flower beds and trying to exterminate the weeds. I scream die weeds die, but for some weird reason they are too ornery to oblige. Makes me feel like as I grow older I grow more irritable. Dang! Have a fun weekend.

Great card, Pat! Great use of that hemp cordage!
I know what you mean about the weed situation. Tim spends hours each month trying to tame the weeds on our property. He just bought a backpack sprayer that holds 4 gallons and it still wasn't enough for him to make a complete pass (we have 5 acres, mostly wooded).
Anyway, have fun this weekend!
Love the nautical theme and that rope. Perfect!
How creative are you??? Love how you added the cording as a frame! I might have to try that sometime mama dear! Talk later today! :-)
What a great masculine card! I love it!
Great job on the man card ... LOVE the "manly ribbon" you used ... works perfectly with your image! Great Job!!
I spent the day cutting grass and trying to get my edger started with no success. Dreading mulching this year ... I need minimum of 10 yards to cover necessary areas ... usually more like 12 ... uugh, it makes me tired just thinking about it!
Gosh I've missed coming here for your humor. You make me smile and laugh all the way through. You are certainly special to me lady! Love this "manly" card and that comes from a man! Best, Curt
HI Pat!! Great guy card and I love that man ribbon you used..

Very masculine!

LOVE this card! And that hemp/twine/rope is a terrific embellie.
A really great male card Pat! About the weeds, there's some stuff in a yellow container at Home Depot that has a nozzle that you just walk around and spread it in the flower beds. It fertilizes and keeps the weeds out too! Now if I could just remember to use it!
Love the light coloring you did, looks perfect. The "hemp" frame outstanding!
Great use of your rope/twine - I love it!
